HB 2357 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Establishes provisions relating to the purchasing of prepaid mobile devices

HB 2357 prohibits minors (under 18) from purchasing or refilling prepaid mobile devices themselves, and also bans adults (non-parents/guardians) from buying or refilling devices for minors. The bill directly affects minors seeking mobile service and adults who might purchase devices for them. Key provisions include treating minor violations as minor offenses, while first-time adult violations are class D misdemeanors, with repeat offenses or prior crimes against children escalating to class A misdemeanors. This creates specific legal consequences for both minors and adults involved in prohibited transactions.
